|
• 近日，戴尔公司（Dell）首席执行官迈克尔•戴尔接受了《华尔街日报》（The Wall Street Journal）的采访。采访中，戴尔回顾了26年来，他在大学寝室里与罗杰斯共同创建的这家公司所走过的历程。采访中涉及的话题包括：平板电脑的迅速流行，如何令其惊叹不已；搭载Android操作系统的平板电脑的市场份额最终将超越iPad；预测公司业务增长的主要来源（即：投资、收购以及合作伙伴关系）。（《华尔街日报》） • 奈飞公司（Netflix）今年第一财季已于本周一结束。分析师预测，该公司有望超越康卡斯特（Comcast）和天狼星卫星广播（Sirius XM Radio），而成为美国订阅量最大的娱乐企业。[《好莱坞记者》（Hollywood Reporter）] • 迈克尔•阿灵顿在TechCrunch上撰文，对我们身处技术“泡沫”（没错，泡沫！）时代的原因进行了分析，观点颇为令人信服。（TechCrunch） • IT产品和服务开支细分（《华尔街日报》） • 你眼下正在寻求IT职位？那你真的可以考虑到初创公司任职。尽管美国失业率仍徘徊在9.2%居高不下，但83%的美国初创公司已计划于2011年招兵买马。（Mashable） • 计算机音乐之父麦克斯•马修斯上周因肺炎辞世。1957年，他创建了“音乐”（Music）程序。IBM的704大型机用之弹奏了17秒种的音乐。此举堪称人类首次在计算机上对声音进行数字化、存储以及检索。马修斯享年84岁。[《纽约时报》（New York Times）] • 亚马逊（Amazon）EC2云服务崩溃的七大教训。[ZDNet/软件作为服务（SaaS）] • 尽管业界有人猜测，Twitter会将总部迁出旧金山，但该公司不会这么做。这主要是因为如果该公司搬到旧金山的中央市场街和田德隆区等地区的话（事情终将如此），那么未来6年，它就能获得减免1.5%的工资税。[洛杉矶时报（Los Angeles Times）] • 为何上周iPhone的“位置门”（LocationGate）闹剧并不像有些人所想象的那样，能成为什么重大事件。[苹果崇拜组织（Cult of Mac）援引《计算机世界》（ComputerWorld）] • 联想公司计划推出时尚的新型10.1英寸的ThinkPad平板电脑。该产品将搭载Android 3.0操作系统；触摸屏分辨率为1,280 x 800；具备手写输入功能，用于“画草图和记笔记”；采用双核Nvidia Tegra 2处理器。预计该产品最迟将于9月上市。[This Is My Next] 译者：大海 |
• Dell CEO Michael Dell sat down with The Wall Street Journal to reflect upon the path his company has taken since he co-founded it in his dorm room some 26 years ago. Among the areas discussed: how the tablet's meteoric success surprised him, why Android tablets will pass the iPad in market share, where he sees the most company growth coming from (hint: investments, acquisitions, and partnerships). (Wall Street Journal) • Analysts predict Netflix's latest quarterly earnings, due out today, could make it the largest subscription entertainment business in the U.S., passing Comcast and Sirius XM Radio. (Hollywood Reporter) • Over at TechCrunch, Michael Arrington penned a pretty convincing argument about why we're in the midst of a tech "blubble." (Yes, blubble!) (TechCrunch) • A breakdown of IT product and services spending. (Wall Street Journal) • Looking for a tech job? Seriously consider applying to start-ups. Despite U.S. unemployment hovering around 9.2%, 83% of U.S. start-ups plan to hire in 2011. (Mashable) • Max Mathews, aka the father of computer music, passed away last week from pneumonia. In 1957, he created the Music program, which allowed an IBM 704 mainframe computer to play a 17-second music composition. It was the first time ever sound was digitized, stored, and retrieved on a computer. Mathews was 84. (New York Times) • Seven lessons to learn from Amazon's EC2 cloud service outage. (ZDNet/Software as Services) • Despite speculation that Twitter would relocate its headquarters somewhere outside of San Francisco, it's sticking around. A lot of that's due to the passing of a payroll tax exemption that basically lets Twitter off the hook from a 1.5% payroll tax for the next six years, provided it moves to the city's Central Market Street and Tenderloin areas (which it will). (Los Angeles Times) • Why last week's iPhone "LocationGate" brouhaha isn't the big deal some think it is. (ComputerWorld via Cult of Mac) • Lenovo is planning a snazzy new 10.1-inch Android 3.0-based ThinkPad tablet with 1,280 x 800 touchscreen, a pen option for "sketching and note taking," and a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. Expect this baby to hit by September at latest. (This is my next) |
